Honduras: Trade Union Leader Assassinated

The ITUC [International Trade Union Confederation] has strongly condemned and denounced the murder of trade union leader Juana Bustillo, president of the social security workers’ union SITRAIHSS and a member of the National Resistance Front, FNRP. This murder is yet another tragic episode in the surge of repression and violence suffered by thetrade union movement over recent years: since the coup d’état on 28 June 2009, protesting workers have met with persecution, murder and imprisonment.
